PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, CONTINUED:

United States Antimony Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1.     Basis of Presentation and Changes in Accounting Policies:

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2011.

Certain consolidated financial statement amounts for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect on the net income or accumulated deficit as previously reported.

For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

2.     Income Per Common Share:

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, including warrants to purchase the Company's common stock and convertible preferred stock.  Management has determined that the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three month period ending June 30, 2011 adds 88,037 related to common stock purchase warrants.

As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the remaining potentially dilutive common stock equivalents not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive are as follows:
June 30, 2011
June 30, 2010
Warrants
- 941,667
Convertible preferred stock
1,976,440 2,343,979
Total possible dilution
1,976,440 3,285,646
3.     Inventories

Antimony Metal
$ 329,319 $ 97,187
Antimony Oxide

$ 764,849 $ 143,291
At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, antimony metal consisted principally of recast metal from antimony-based compounds and metal purchased from foreign suppliers.  Antimony oxide inventory consisted of finished product oxide held at the Company’s plant in Montana.  The Company’s zeolite inventory consists of salable zeolite material held at BRZ’s Idaho mining and production facility.

4.     Commitments and Contingencies:

The Company's management believes that USAC is currently in substantial compliance with environmental regulatory requirements and that its accrued environmental reclamation costs are representative of management's estimate of costs required to fulfill its reclamation obligations.  Such costs are accrued at the time the expenditure becomes probable and the costs can reasonably be estimated.  The Company recognizes, however, that in some cases future environmental expenditures cannot be reliably determined due to the uncertainty of specific remediation methods, conflicts between regulating agencies relating to remediation methods and environmental law interpretations, and changes in environmental laws and regulations.  Any changes to the Company's reclamation plans as a result of these factors could have an adverse affect on the Company's operations.  The range of possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

The Company is currently involved in ongoing litigation related to royalty payments to outside parties for products that the Company sells.  A liability was recorded during 2010 as a result of one of these proceedings but management plans to vigorously defend the claims for the other suit.  No accrual or range of potential outcomes has been estimated for that suit.

In 2005, a subsidiary of the Company signed an option agreement that gives it the exclusive right to explore and develop the San Miguel I and San Miguel II concessions for an annual payment of $50,000, and an option to purchase payment of $100,000 annually.  Total payments will not exceed $1,430,344, reduced by taxes paid.  During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010, $43,478 and $186,956 respectively, was paid and capitalized as mineral rights in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies.

From time to time, the Company is assessed fines and penalties by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”).  Using appropriate regulatory channels, management may contest these proposed assessments, and accrued $40,604 in other accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2010 which were subsequently paid.  Additionally there are MSHA proposed assessments of $55,567 outstanding which have not been settled on, and the entire amount was accrued in other accrued liabilities as of June 30, 2011.

5.     Concentrations of Risk

During the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, approximately 60% and 48%, respectively, of the Company's antimony revenues were generated by sales to three customers (Kohler, Inc., Polymer Products Corporation, and Alpha Gary Corporation).  The loss of the Company’s key customers could adversely affect its business.

6.     Related Party Transactions

During the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, the Company paid $43,452 and $35,957, respectively, to Gary Babbit, Leo Jackson and Russell Lawrence, directors of the Company for permitting and other construction related activities at Mexican mill sites.

During the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, the Company paid $28,679 and $15,063, respectively, to John Lawrence as reimbursement for equipment used by the Company.

During the first half of 2011 and 2010, the Company paid $79,409 and $82,457, respectively, to Gary Babbit, Leo Jackson and Russell Lawrence, directors of the Company for permitting and other construction related activities at Mexican mill sites.

During the first half of 2011 and 2010, the Company paid $44,582 and $26,039, respectively, to John Lawrence as reimbursement for equipment used by the Company.

7.     Common Stock

The Company's Articles of Incorporation authorize 60,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value common stock available for issuance with such rights and preferences, including liquidation, dividend, conversion and voting rights, as the Board of Directors may determine.  At June 30, 2011, the number of common shares outstanding and reserved is as follows:

Common shares issued and outstanding
59,349,300
Allocated shares for:
Warrants to purchase common stock
600,000
United States Antimony Corporation 2000 stock plan

Total outstanding and reserved
60,449,300
Authorized shares
60,000,000
Number of shares overallocated
(449,300 )

In addition, the Company has shares of Series D stock of 1,751,005 and warrants for purchase of 111,185 shares of Series D stock that is convertible on a one to one basis for shares of common stock.   However, such conversion is subject to the availability of authorized but unissued shares of common stock.

In order to ensure that the number of shares outstanding does not exceed the amount authorized, the Company has no plans on selling additional shares of common stock in the near future and will not authorize any grants under the stock plan.  The Company plans to pursue increasing its authorized shares during the second half of 2011.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our president, who serves as the chief accounting officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2011.

Based upon this evaluation, it was determined that there were material weaknesses affecting our internal control over financial reporting and, as a result of those weaknesses, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2011. These material weaknesses are as follows:

The Company does not have either internally or on its Board of Directors the expertise to produce financial statements to be filed with the SEC.

The Company lacks proper segregation of duties. As with any company the size of ours, this lack of segregation of duties is due to limited resources. The president authorizes the majority of the expenditures and signs checks.

The Company lacks accounting personnel with sufficient skills and experience to ensure proper accounting for complex, non-routine transactions.

During its year end audit, our independent registered accountants discovered material misstatements in our financial statements that required audit adjustments.

15

MANAGEMENT'S REMEDIATION INITIATIVES

We are aware of these material weaknesses and plan to put procedures in place to ensure that independent review of material transactions is performed. In addition, we plan to consult with independent experts when complex transactions are entered into.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.

There have been no changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal controls over financial reporting.
